Introduction of EGNOS operations: the perspective of an Air Navigation Service Provider METIS Workshop Benefits of EGNOS in Civil Aviation Istanbul 18 November 2009 • Technical Department – Satellite Systems Unit • Renato Perago (renato.perago@enav.it)
to increase: safety, efficiency, capacity of ATM in Europe; to reduce fragmentation / complexity of airspace (FABs, FUA); to provide a framework for modernisation of systems (SESAR); to reduce the environmental impact of any operation. … widespread PBN operations key enablers of SES. Single European Sky (SES) - Objectives METIS Workshop Benefits of EGNOS in Civil Aviation, Istanbul 18 November 2009
first step of PBN implementation; operational benefits (flight time, pilot / controller workload, repeatability of the flight path); vertical Baro-guidance for equipped aircraft (some models of Airbus and Boeing); Baro VNAV flight procedures where cost-effective; RNP APCH subject to some operational restrictions (i.e. RAIM availability). 4min 37min 15min PBN Approaches – RNP APCH (+ Baro VNAV) RAIM FD RAIM FDE METIS Workshop Benefits of EGNOS in Civil Aviation, Istanbul 18 November 2009
PBN Approaches – SBAS LPV (or SBAS APV) • increased availability by SBAS (no RAIM); • access to both greatest and regional airports; • EGNOS LPV suitable for at least 70% of Italian RWYs (good average visibility in Central/Southern Italy); • EGNOS LPV suitable at Perugia (LIRZ) airport. • SBAS LPV (or APV) METIS Workshop Benefits of EGNOS in Civil Aviation, Istanbul 18 November 2009
regional and general aviation traffic; airspace constraints; mountainous terrain (also affecting m.a.); RWY 01 ILS CAT I; Procedural surveillance; IFR RWY 19 desirable (in case of south wind). Operational Scenario at Perugia METIS Workshop Benefits of EGNOS in Civil Aviation, Istanbul 18 November 2009
Three initial segments (two straight-in) joining at RZ007 ILS CAT I, OCH = 500 ft (m.a. gradient 2.5%) METIS Workshop Benefits of EGNOS in Civil Aviation, Istanbul 18 November 2009
Overall PBN Implementation steps in EU • certification of airborne equipment; • obligations of aircraft operators (manuals, crew training); • radio navigation signals of sufficient performance (ESSP in the case of EGNOS); • airspace design + aeronautical information publication (Service Providers); • subject to regulation/approval by “EASA system” (including NSAs). International Projects join different stakeholders ! METIS Workshop Benefits of EGNOS in Civil Aviation, Istanbul 18 November 2009
Risk Assessment and Mitigation (ESARR4) • Service Providers shall carry out Safety Assessment of the intended modifications (SES Regulation); • Local constraints key factor; • High-level Safety Cases as inputs to Local Safety Assessment; • possible local degradation of signals (e.g. GPS interference) and mitigations (ICAO ANC/11, Recommendation 6/2). METIS Workshop Benefits of EGNOS in Civil Aviation, Istanbul 18 November 2009
Conclusion • Performance Based Navigation (PBN) one of the key enablers of SES; • Aeronautical Information Management required for PBN; • RNP APCH (+Baro) the first implementation step of PBN; • SBAS LPV suitable for at least 70% of Italian runways end; • Despite of the conservative concept (ILS-look-alike), LPV introduces the required level of automation with accurate flight path repeatability by means of EGNOS signal availability.
